    Just recieved mine in the mail, and I have a question. Has anyone tried this, I really dont want to drill into my front bumper and mess anything up. They sent me 2 big silver screws. Has anyone drilled into the bumper?
    Thanks

    how much you got it for...
    got mine from the dealer for $30...i have to trim mine a little to make fit the bumper, cuz the evo x has a bulkier front than the gts...

    i think the one from ebay is just a piece of plastic...it looks so much different from the real evo x liscense plate holder...the evo one is design to face straight forward unlike the ebay one which faces a litte more diagonally...get what i mean...

    I agree, I thought the ebay version looked chincy as well.

    Vik, Do you have any more photos close up of your install? I have my mitsu evox plate on order so I am trying to get an idea on install before I get it.

    the dealer said that it has to be perfect because this plate bracket leaves "two giant holes in the bumper"

    lol... so I was hoping you might have had some pics.

    ya maybe... but imo, it looks basically the same... as far as the install goes... if it were me and i had to put a front bumper (yay for florida not having to) i'd use a strong double sided tape... wouldn't want holes in the bumper :-\

    i meant it was a little more outward, and unlike the ebay ver. its more diagonally-to-the-side...you now what i mean...kind a hard to explain without visual...

    and my plate holder looks exactly the one on the pics you have with a little trim thats all....
